《Alexander Creed: Re-Life》Chapter 214: Chaos Again: Tornado Trouble!
Advertisement
Alexander could have gone for a more formal and business-y way when it comes to Creed Entertainment's new field endeavor.
After all, the plan for Creed Music has always been in their proprietor minds.
It was not theatrics or whatnot that spurned him to do the music plan though. He was just essentially building an earlier foundation for what sort of stuff he would do when he would fiddle with Creed Music.
Granted, he had to make a big show to somewhat combat his "acting" blunder as well.
Of course, he was also kind of surprised to have Old Sullivan backing off and being played into formalizing the music company as well.
Alexander knew his grandpa well and the old man might have some much more elaborate plan that circumvents what he has done.
Old Sullivan may have said that he wouldn't force or "guilt trip" him into acting or anything he didn't want anymore, it is still a long game for everything to be decided.
In a sense, the registration of a new business field may just be a red herring to what the old Creed had in store. Of course, Alexander can't discount that he may just be overthinking a lot of things.
He's got a lot on his plate this supposedly easy Musical May and Alexander wouldn't cross out the fact that his scheming paranoia might have something to do with that.
Paranoia or not. Overthinking or not. Over the top or not. At least he was prepared for whatever may come his way.
If the Alex acting plan is playing the long game, then Alexander's music plan still has many levels to it.
"Ultra" learning music and establishing a music company were just some of the preliminary steps of it after all. To downplay his so-called method acting talent some more, he had to move up the musical ladder.
What would Old Sullivan feel when his little grandson was composing and producing chart-topping music every single month? Well, every single month is a bit overkill but knowing top charters of pop culture is just too ludicrous to pass up on.
How can someone still ask a music "prodigy" to be an actor by then? It would probably be easy to convince a lot of other musicians that wants to transition to film but not Alexander.

If Alexander played his cards right, then the top-selling comic book creator would just be another title.
An added bonus is the fact that "legal problems" wouldn't limit his productivity much... that is until the envy and jealousy wave strikes his groove again.
As the facts began to lay out, Alexander's music plan was already showing its amazing potential. Musical May was truly fitting for everything.
It was too bad that the 'music plan' wouldn't be able to fit in May or be commemorated throughout the entirety of May exactly...
The 31st of May 1985 had a major event that would come knocking after all!
------
Summer was coming and it also meant that the season of spring was nearing its end or had already ended already.
This was supposed to be a normal occurrence that seasonal parts of the world would encounter.
Unfortunately, a series of unfortunate events seem to have coincided and led to much devastation.
With the passage of a strong cold front during the late spring, high levels of atmospheric instability being present, and an environment favoring the formation of tornadic thunderstorms. These factors came together and resulted in an unexpected storm.
All things came into play and on the evening of May 31st, 1985, a devastating and deadly tornado outbreak struck the Northeastern United States and Canada.
The thunderstorms were supported by a cold front moving east across the northeastern U.S. ahead of a low-pressure system moving northeastward through the Great Lakes region.
Unseasonably warm and humid air moved northward into Pennsylvania and much of the eastern U.S. ahead of the cold front, setting the stage for strong thunderstorms and tornadoes.
The May 31, 1985 Tornado Outbreak had occurred!
40 plus tornadoes and numerous damaging thunderstorms tore across Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, and Ontario.
This event would be known as the deadliest tornado outbreak of the 1980s. Killing 89 people in total, injuring more than 1,000 others, and racking up more than 600 million dollars in property damage.
It was quite the devastating chaos!
-----
Of course, when 'chaos' is involved, a certain Chaos Butterfly may or may not be linked.
While the stormy winds wreaked havoc and the 40-plus tornados inflicted varying damage to everything they came across, a certain Mind Mansion was acting up.

Its high class and mansion-y feel became a bit troubled as carvings of red and green characters had showcased themselves.
The dark miasma that always came in tandem with it was pervading from the engraved characters as well.
Alexander, who own this Mind Mansion, was familiar with this enrapturing scenario and could only go with the flow.
His consciousness was adrift as he ruminated on what he could ruminate from it. This was clearly a repeat of his birthday nightmares but it wasn't too trauma-inducing now.
It wasn't that he was used to the threat of the Chaos Monster but it may have something to do with timings and whatnot.
He had always wondered why an Ishaan-like ability and Chaos Program appeared out of nowhere and at a time that it shouldn't have.
He had assumed that his extreme focus to not embarrass himself in Voice Acting was the reason for everything but it seems that the historically recorded weather phenomenon could be linked to everything.
Since the San Fernando area was not much of a target for these sudden tornadoes, one could have expected Alexander to have a good night's sleep in his bed.
Unfortunately, the Chaos Monster acted up in his slumber and he could now more or less grasp why that had happened and why it happened then.
"A butterfly can flap its wings in Peking, and in Central Park, you get rain instead of sunshine." Dr. Ian Malcolm's semi-iconic line in Jurassic Park came to subconscious Alexander as he drifted amidst the chaos-fill Mind Mansion.
He was the Chaos Butterfly for more than a year now and all his karma theory at the start of re-life might have just taken effect... in the form of a weather catastrophe.
He had theorized about this at the start of the year and how could he have known that he was not too far off?
It was quite weird though, the 1985 Tornado Outbreak happened even before he was the Chaos Butterfly in this regression of history.
Alexander doubted that there was Chaos Butterfly before him as he believed that he was the only one with enough drive and mindless motivation to monkey-type malfunctioning codes and fiddle with it.
Could it be that the Greater System had something special to install during this specific day of history? Did it just so happen that his Chaos Program just tapped into some of that special programmic feed?
Did the tornado-inducing installation have something to do with imaginative visualization? This may be the prime source as to why he had Ishaan's special visualization skill as his new reward perk.
Was everybody aphantasiac before May 31, 1985 and they just hadn't noticed it? If so, the Greater System really had a lot of lapses in its grand function. Even after the tornado outbreak, there were still people with aphantasia and the Greater System may not be so great.
Perhaps that was why it wasn't called the Greatest System and no wonder a human like him could still tap into a chaos fault and had been rewarded handsomely.
Nitpicking a supreme codic entity aside, all was just theories from Alexander's perspective. Everything was not conclusive at all and there were still things that may be explored in the future.
Nonetheless, Alexander had already reasoned out all he could to not be guilty of all the mess that the 40+ tornadoes have made.
At least, he could theorize that it wasn't his plundering karma that formed the disastrous weather but something that a natural order always intended to happen.
He just had a natural chaos program hiding in his mind that had some inkling of connection to it.
-----
Anyways, Alexander was just looking forward for the entire phenomenon to be over.
Since the tornado trouble was linked to this mind floating, it can be assumed that the duration could be correlating.
As amazing as it seems to be able to criticize and be a part of supernatural forces in universal existence, having one's subconscious floating around in a chaotified Mind Mansion was a bit boring when you do it for hours.
Of course, aside from hoping that the tornado hours be shortened for him to not be bored, Alexander extended that to shortening the damage and horrors that were happening in real time as well.
